Open Source GenAI with InstructLab and Granite

• Get started with AI and large language models without having to pay for it
• Contribute to the open-source LLM community, even if you aren’t a machine learning expert
• Learn how to feed data into Granite LLM and run prompts from your own environment

AI has become a big part of every professional’s daily life, and the backbone of Artificial Intelligence is the Large Language Model (LLM). Many LLMs are hard to tweak, but Granite is a new open-source LLM that provides all the capabilities of ChatGPT with the added ability to run it on your own laptop. This allows anyone to contribute to this LLM easily.

To go along with Granite, InstructLab is an open-source AI environment created by Red Hat and IBM. InstructLab allows you to learn how to work with Granite LLM in small environments, after which it will be easier to upscale and run the Granite LLM on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI on premise or use OpenShift AI in cloud.

Join instructor Sander van Vugt as he provides an introduction to working with InstructLab and the Granite LLM. You’ll learn how to install InstructLab on your own laptop and start working with it. You’ll also learn how to feed data into the open-source Granite LLM, either in a way that makes it available to the world, or to tweak your own local copy of the LLM.
